[PATCH v14 03/15] accel/rocket: wait for a running IRQ handler before resetting a core

From: Jiaxing Hu <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-24 10:22:27
Also in: dri-devel, linux-devicetree, linux-iommu, linux-pm, linux-rockchip, lkml
Subsystem: drm accel driver for rockchip npu, drm compute accelerators drivers and framework, the rest · Maintainers: Tomeu Vizoso, Oded Gabbay, Linus Torvalds

drm_sched_stop() does not wait for a threaded handler that is already
running. Call synchronize_irq() after it, outside job_lock, which the
handler takes.

Before the sync, mask the block's interrupt and clear its raw status, so
that an active core cannot signal a completion after it. Do that under
job_lock, since rocket_job_hw_submit() arms the same mask under that lock,
and only when pm_runtime_get_if_active() returns a positive count: the
reset holds no runtime PM reference, and with the domain down a register
access takes an async SError.

Igor Paunovic's induced-reset runs on RK3588, including a two-task job that
puts hw_submit() on the IRQ thread, found no fault; as he put it, "this
does not show the race is closed".

-	 * Remaining interrupts have been handled, but we might still have
-	 * stuck jobs. Let's make sure the PM counters stay balanced by
-	 * manually calling pm_runtime_put_noidle().
+	 * Mask the block before waiting. hw_submit() arms INTERRUPT_MASK on
+	 * every submit and only the hardirq clears it, so on an ordinary
+	 * timeout it is still live and a completion can arrive after the sync
+	 * returns. The next submit re-arms it, so nothing is lost here.
+	 *
+	 * Only when the device is already awake, though. This function holds no
+	 * runtime PM reference of its own: the only one in the window belongs to
+	 * in_flight_job, and the completion path may have put it and cleared the
+	 * pointer before the timeout worker got here. drm_sched_stop() above can
+	 * block for a long time, and it drops every pending job's credits, so
+	 * rocket_job_is_idle() is true and nothing keeps the core resumed. On
+	 * this hardware a register access with the domain down takes an async
+	 * SError, so a reset must not be the thing that causes one.
+	 *
+	 * Only a positive answer will do. pm_runtime_get_if_active() tests
+	 * power.disable_depth before power.runtime_status, so -EINVAL MASKS a
+	 * suspended device rather than excluding one: pm_runtime_force_suspend(),
+	 * which is this driver's own system suspend callback, disables runtime PM
+	 * first and turns the clocks off second, and rocket_core_fini() suspends
+	 * the core and disables before it cancels the timeout worker. Both leave
+	 * the domain down with -EINVAL on offer.
+	 *
+	 * The cost is the other half of that ambiguity. A core that is still up
+	 * with runtime PM disabled (pm_runtime_force_suspend() before its
+	 * callback has run, or CONFIG_PM=n under COMPILE_TEST) is left unmasked,
+	 * because writing to it would mean writing to the half that is down as
+	 * well.
+	 *
+	 * Clear the raw status along with the mask, the way the completion path
+	 * does. Masking alone leaves the DPU bit latched until
+	 * rocket_core_reset(), and the hardirq decides on raw status alone, so a
+	 * fault from the IOMMU that shares this line would wake the thread again
+	 * and what the comment below asserts would stop being true.
+	 *
+	 * UNDER job_lock, because rocket_job_hw_submit() arms this same
+	 * register and always runs under that lock. reset.pending is set here
+	 * without the lock and read there with it, so a submit that has already
+	 * passed its check can re-arm the mask after this clears it, and then
+	 * the synchronize_irq() below fences a handler that is no longer the
+	 * one that matters: the block is left running a task with its
+	 * interrupt live. rocket_job_handle_irq() avoids the same race on
+	 * OPERATION_ENABLE by making its completion writes under this lock.
+	 *
+	 * pm_runtime_get_if_active() does not invoke a callback -- it only
+	 * takes a reference on an already-active device -- and
+	 * pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() is asynchronous, so neither can re-enter
+	 * this driver's runtime PM callbacks while the lock is held.
